Wes Scantlin's hummer involved in hit-and-run

3 years ago

Police have a few questions for Puddle of Mudd's Wes Scantlin after the rocker's Hummer was found abandoned in the Hollywood Hills this week.

Sources tell TMZ.com the vehicle appeared to have sideswiped a parked car before it was abandoned and it was missing its front wheel. It's not known if Scantlin or someone else was behind the wheel at the time of the accident.

Police only learned that it was registered to the singer after a license plate check. The Hummer has since been impounded. Sources say the case is being treated as a misdemeanor hit-and-run, though Scantlin is not considered a suspect - at least not yet.

So far, police have not been able to speak to Scantlin, but his attorney tells TMZ he'd be surprised to learn if the rocker was involved as he rarely drives, preferring to take public transportation or rides from friends.
